Following Intel, AMD, Samsung Display, etc., Financial Times reported that Sony and OmniVision have obtained licenses to continue supplying mobile phone CMOS image sensors to Huawei.
According to the report, the U.S. seems to be relieved, as long as manufacturers can prove that their technical products shipped to Huawei do not involve 5G, then the transaction can be maintained.
However, there are speculations that almost all of Huawei’s new mobile phones support 5G networks, so whether these CMOS can’t be used in 5G mobile phones or because the U.S. only examines the components themselves and does not restrict the final flow to which of these two situations? unknown.
According to data, Sony is the world's largest mobile phone CMOS manufacturer, with a market share of 44% in the first half of the year, followed by Samsung with 32% and OmniVision with 9%.
Huawei has stated many times that the company's goal is to survive and fulfill its promises to customers and partners.
